Stridsvagn 103C by Erik Gustavsson

Accurate Armours resin kit of the “S-tank”. The tracks were replaced with a pair from the Italeri Leopard 2 kit since I was to lazy to use the “flexible resin” tracks that came with the kit. Other modifications are the erected and drilled out illuminating mortar (LYRAN). I provided the mortar with an opened up cap. The kit was built in 2001.

The colours I used are the following (Humbrol):

Dark green
Hu 149

Light green
Hu 105 with a few drops of Hu 80 to increase the contrast towards the dark green.

Brown
Hu 118 with a little grey and green to lessen the contrast towards the greens. The brown was too eyecatching as it were.

Black
Hu 33 with a few drops of grey and green to lessen the contrast a bit.

The main issue was not to get the “real” colours, but to make the colours look “real” together. The shades of colours can actually be different due to a lot of factors. You judge on how well I succeeded.

Small notices

In case you are interested, here is a small update on my Swedish M3 Scout Car used in the Congo at the link below. My apologies for it being in Swedish. Once the model is complete, I will post an article here on PW in English

It has been rumored for some time that the CV9040C, the up armoured version of the Strf 9040 that has seen international service in Liberia and currently in Afghanistan was on the way in 1/35.
Apparently Hobby Boss is showing off some cad-renderings at the Nuremberg Spielwarenmesse, as Kjell Svensson is tipsing us about here.

Just wanted to give the heads up on the latest project from the PW author, Sven Young. A tank trailer for his splendid M3 scout car in swedish kongo-service. I hope we’ll see both of them here soon. See the progress on the IPMS Stockholm website.
